Villarreal to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>\n(55.6%)<\/td>\n\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Villarreal to win because they\u2019ve claimed victory in 6 of the last 10 head-to-heads and have a +18 goal difference this season. Their attack is among the league\u2019s best, netting 44 goals in 23 matches.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams To Score: Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/6 @ Bet365<\/a>\n(60.0%)<\/td>\n\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to Levante\u2019s defensive struggles (40 conceded in 23 games) and Villarreal\u2019s attacking prowess. Levante do have the firepower to nick a goal, especially at home.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Correct Score: 2-1 Villarreal<\/strong><\/td>\n12\/1 @ Bet365<\/a>\n(7.7%)<\/td>\n\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThis correct score has appeared in past meetings and fits the pattern of Villarreal\u2019s strong but not impenetrable defence. Levante\u2019s home support could see them on the scoresheet, but Villarreal have too much firepower.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/a>\n\nOdds correct at the time of writing.<\/small>\n

Season Form & Standings<\/h2>\nVillarreal are flying high in third place, boasting a 61% win rate and an impressive +18 goal difference, while Levante are languishing in 19th, with the league\u2019s second-worst defence and just four wins all season.
